Sevin 5% and egg withdrawl?

[HenPecked_bychildren]

What is the rule with using sevin to treat for mites/lice and eating eggs?

I've always eaten the eggs after dusting with sevin. It's not like an internal wormer requiring egg withdrawal.

I agree with dawg53.

I threw so much Sevin dust and Permethrin dust around my coops that I will always wash all my eggs. But I don't discard them because of this. I don't know what the official recommendation is.

If you ever use a liquid, I would do egg discarding. I don't think I would put liquid Sevin on my chickens. I like the Eprinex pour on.

I've always used powdered Sevin, and never discarded eggs.
'Course, there MAY be a few things wrong with me cuz of it.
